[QUOTE="Geordie_P, post: 2421832, member: 343949"] Statins can raise blood sugars, but I took rosuvastatin when I was first diagnosed with T2, and it didn't seem to raise my bloods much- my GP took me off them after I got my triglycerides down to normal levels. I'm now on atorvastatin after a heart attack last year. Statins are controversial, but my advice would be to take them for now and drop your carbs to zero, or as close to zero as possible. My cardiologist advises me to ditch carbs and eat lean meat and green veg. Frankly, I don't see much to disagree with in that advice. My thought would be that you could take the statins, and compensate for the mild rise in sugars by brutally quashing sugar in your diet. I'm a statin sceptic, but for those of us who've suffered actual heart attacks, I think they may have their place. [/QUOTE]
